FSA Orbit C-33 Integrated Headset

The FSA Orbit C-33 is designed for tapered head tubes, specifically fitting frames that accept a 1-1/8 inch to 1-1/4 inch steerer tube. It is compatible with both carbon and alloy head tubes, making it a versatile choice for most modern road bikes using this specific tapered standard.

The 10.3mm stack height refers to the total vertical space the headset occupies on your steerer tube. This low-profile design helps you maintain a cleaner aesthetic and allows for a more aggressive, lower handlebar position if you are looking to minimize your front-end height.

Yes, the kit is complete and includes the necessary alloy top cover and starnut. You will have all the essential components required to install the headset into your frame immediately.

Angular contact bearings are preferred for headsets because they are designed to handle both radial and axial loads simultaneously. This ensures your steering remains smooth, consistent, and durable, even when subjected to the varied forces encountered during road cycling.

The complete headset assembly weighs 98 grams. It is a lightweight option that balances durability with performance, making it suitable for riders conscious of their bike's overall weight.
